Okay, I’m pissed. I went to go pay my LivoniaMichigan taxes (speeding ticket) today. And come to find out, I waited too long and I had to pay an extra $45!

This is why I’m pissed:

I got a ticket for speeding where there was NO speed limit sign posted. Also, my car can’t get up to that speed in the time that the cop radared me. I thought I had 30 days to reply/pay. Well, they changed it to 21 days. But you wouldn’t know from looking at the ticket. The entry on the ticket actually looks like the cop wrote “01 days”. I called the courthouse up and they said that I can pay the fine and request to have the late payment set aside. Which I should have done, but figured it wasn’t worth the $30. I then get a postcard saying I have 14 days before they suspend my license. I go to the courthouse today to pay this. On the 14th day mind you. And she says that my license has been suspended. WHAT!?!? Now I owe them an extra $45 to reverse it! So, for speeding where there was no sign and for a speed that my car couldn’t do, it cost me $180!!!!!!!

I was just sitting here looking at the postcard and read this: “NOTICE: You may have the right to set aside a default by requesting a hearing within 14 days of the mailing date. You must post a bond equal to the total fine and costs noted when requesting a hearing to set aside a default.”

You know what that means? It means the B1TCH lied to me and I could have had more than the late fee taken off! I could have had the whole damn thing reversed! But I didn’t look at the card until now. Dammit!

Crap like this makes me want to quit my job here in Livonia and never drive through this damned city again!

CAUTION: AVOID LIVONIAMICHIGAN IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!!!!! TRUST ME, YOU CAN’T AFFORD IT!!!!!

Okay, so as you can see, I have those cool Google Ads up there! So, click, click, click! Make me money!

I’ve also added two counters…why two? Because I want to.

Oh, and click on those cool links down there for United Devices, Firefox and SETI.

United Devices goes to grid.org. It’s a site based off of SETI@Home technology. Basically, you install it on your computer and it downloads a small chunk of data. It analyzes that data and tried to find a cure for cancer, small pox..stuff like that.

Firefox is a web browser that is better than Internet Explorer. Well, at least me and all other techies think so!

SETI@Home is the same description as grid, but you are trying to find alien transmissions. Who knows, you may decipher E.T.’s version of “I Love Lucy”!!!
